Re: [orca-list] Automatic focus mode switching GUI and what to do about radio buttons?

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Hi Joanie and all.
In my opinion radio buttons should keep me in browse mode.
I suspect that there are sites that do not announce correctly the 
description of a radio button when in focus mode.

You can try the following:
1. Go to http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_form_radio

2. Press orca_key+a two times so that sticky mode is on.

3. Press tab until you find the submit button.

4. Press shift+tab. Orca anounces a radio button.

5. Press down/up arrow.

In my environment orca reads female  but does not read the male 
correctly. Orca only reads radio button.
Thanks.
